Thanks.

Sweet...we have been debating getting the olde roku.
Makes the determination pretty easy.

I'd be interesting in knowing what it is first. I remember back in the mid to late 90s seeing something about a proposed Billiard Channel for TV. I think they even had a website, but nothing ever came of it.
What are you guys talking about? What is The Billiard Channel?
Back to the top!
Too important to be buried!
I just got the channel the other day and it is "VERY" nice.
Well done, Alvin!

Since it is too important to bury, could you tell us what The Billiard Channel is?
Yes it is a channel on the ROKU system like HBO GO or ESPN live. A place to find and view billiard content on your television!
It is important because it can help the sport gain sponsors and exposure!
Lack of support and use could hurt the sport and venture. As much hard work Alvin has done for us a few minutes to subscribe is the least we could do.
Hope this helps?

Not true. The BCN was very active during the Camel Pro Tour years, as it was owned and funded by RJ Reynolds. Rob Seykora (sp.) was the primary person associated with BCN, and traveled the country promoting the channel, which was subscription-oriented. When RJ Reynolds pulled out of pro pool, the BCN folded too.

Is Roku the next Time Warner?
Financial gurus are claiming that HBO leaving cable in January will destroy cable tv. Probably won"t last through 2015 for the majority of America. Because people will be able to access their desired channels for a fraction of a $200 cable bill. As I understand, they're saying that so many people leaving will bankrupt the system.
So is Roku the system that can combine all of those channels into a user friendly, easy access system that the average consumer can use?

what what what???
Usually Roku sends me emails notifying me of new channels but I'm just now reading about this one here on AZB. Damn, my wife is watching a movie on the main TV so I'll have to check it out when she finishes... Hope it's worthy of the channel name.
I don't usually hog the big TV but there may be some trouble in paradise in the near future... to be continued...
Just checked it out. Told my wife "just let me jump on the Roku for only about 2 or 3 minutes and I'll give the TV back to you". After watching 3 very good amateur games I was reminded by my wife that the battery on my watch must have died.
I need to move the Roku back to my office I guess, because I believe there's going to be a lot of The Billiards Channel going on around here... when I'm not shooting.
Now you all know what to buy the pool player for Christmas who doesn't own a Roku.

Don't know much about this Roku.
Can I just buy one, hook it up, and then watch this Billiard channel?
Or are there monthly fees?
Roku box is for all intents and purposes an internet equivalent of a cable box. Most of the stuff is free. You can buy it, hook it up and start watching. I bought mine because most of the streamers were on UStream. Roku box had Ustream channel. So, I didn't need a computer to watch online streaming. The 'Premium Channels' are Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Prime, which you pay a monthly fee to subscribe to those respective companies.
Cable companies are 'running scared' because they don't want to change their business model. Just your local APA league operator who doesn't want implement a 9-ball or Masters league, because 8-ball is so lucrative, until another league starts gathering steam in his/her territory. Change will come, just like the 3 point scoring for APA 8-ball to limit sandbagging.
